| 89. i had to come back to this topic.... |
|
imagine you are trying to get back to fallujah and are stopped at the checkpoint for identification....
you may or may not have a home to go back to,
you probably don't have power or water,
you have no job unless the military assigns you to a forced work detail,
you may or may not have the means to feed yourself or your family,
but the marines are there with millions of dollars worth of high tech eyeball scanners and dna tests and mag strip id cards.
how's that make you feel on your return to fallujah. think these guys really care about bringing you freedom? with a retina scan? hmmm...
Bush&Co, breeding insurgency one retina scan at a time.
there's so many things wrong with this story. i need a drink.
(p.s... i've been to about a dozen facilities that have fingerprint or retina recognition systems and have only seen one that was operational. the rest were torn apart and never worked. i know its being used widely, but i've got my doubts that marines at some dusty checkpoint are going to be able to get a whole lot of use out of it)
